About APOHX

American Century Short Duration Inflation Protection Bond Fund I Class is an actively managed mutual fund focused on preserving purchasing power and dampening interest-rate sensitivity through a portfolio of short-duration, inflation-linked debt securities. The strategy normally invests at least 80% of net assets in inflation-protected bonds, emphasizing investment-grade quality while retaining flexibility to hold other fixed income instruments as market conditions warrant. Centered on U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities and similar inflation-linked issues, the fund targets the short end of the maturity spectrum to limit volatility from rate moves and provide a more stable real-return profile during shifting inflation regimes. It is positioned within the short-term inflation-protected bond category and is designed to help mitigate the erosive effects of rising consumer prices on fixed income allocations. The I Class is an institutional share class with higher minimums and a net expense structure typical of professional mandates, reflecting its intended use by advisors and institutions managing liability-aware or inflation-sensitive portfolios.
